Eligibility
- The things you need to know to qualify for
the program.
- You must own and live in a
mobile home that is at least ten years old, in Jefferson, Lewis or St.
Lawrence County, on land
that you own (not in a trailer park), with the deed in your name. There
can be no liens on the land after closing the grant other
than the new
home financing and currently existing mortgages.
- You must meet the
income guidelines for your household
size.
- Your real property taxes must be paid to date.
- You must be able to pay your share of the project. The actual grant
amount, not to exceed $20,000, will be determined by the total development
cost, subtracting from it the amount of mortgage the bank will lend you.
The remainder will be the amount of grant you will be eligible to receive,
if within program guidelines.
- You must agree to attend an approved homeownership training program as
part of
the application process. A small fee may be charged for program
participation.
- Applications will be processed on a first-come first-served basis. This
means that
you need to submit your
application, with the required
income
documentation, to us as soon as possible to be considered for a grant.
Applications will not be considered as submitted until all information
requested on the form and the proper income documentation is received.
Households already on the
waiting list will be considered first.
